Nugent has joined the insurance services sales team at Depository Trust and Clearing Co. (DTCC) as business development manager, reporting to John Ziambras, VP of sales for insurance services. As DTCC expands its insurance services group, Nugent will help increase the client roster and expand usage of DTCC insurance services among carriers and insurance distributors.

It serves as a clearinghouse for mutual funds and insurance products, linking funds and carriers with distribution networks.

The organization also provides clearance, settlement and information services for equity, corporate debt, municipal debt, government securities, mortgage-backed securities and emerging market sovereign debt trades in the U.S.
